A small group Provence day from Aix, with Les Baux ruins, Pont du Gard, Avignon medieval streets, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine tasting.
“Our guide, Gaelle, was wonderful. Very informative and very personable. The itinerary was great though I would have liked a bit more time in Les Beaux. Walking out to the Esplanade and back took all the designated time (and we don't walk slow). The other stops had sufficient time allowed. Great recommendations for restaurant in Avignon.”
Half-day wine tour from Aix to Côtes de Provence Sainte-Victoire: two award-winning wineries, about nine tastings, English guide.
“Our guide was very knowledgeable about wine (of course), the local region, and full of fun facts about a variety of other topics, like honey or chocolate. My party was not very experienced in wine-tasting, but he did a great job explaining things like tannins or micro-oxygenation, which I had no idea about previously. I would highly recommend to anyone in Aix-En-Provence.”

Full-day Luberon wine tour from Aix, small group, A/C van, 3 wineries with about 13 tastings, Lourmarin lunch, English guide.
“This is by far the best way to enjoy a variety of wineries. Our guide Stephane is a wine expert and wanted us to appreciate the entire process of creating what we enjoyed in our glasses. Over the course of the day I learned more about the magical transformation of grape to wine than I did in a lifetime of casual reading. There is no way to duplicate this experience independently, driving around and sipping randomly all day. The small group of interesting fellow wine lovers was very congenial and Stephane's good humor kept the atmosphere light and fun. There were surprises on the tour that I won't spoil here,…”
Small group half-day wine tour from Aix to Côtes de Provence, tasting at two family wineries with an English-speaking guide.
“We visited two wineries. The first was beautiful, we learned a bit about the vineyard from the staff, and the wine was very enjoyable. The second visit was a disappointment. No one from the vineyard met with us and the wines were not drinkable (by anyone in our group of 7).”
